Wheel Refinishing?

Any ideas where I can get a set of S-Lites (with mild curb rash) refinished and repainted?

Very nice fade-in. I'd be looking for a sharp silver to black transition.

Advanced Powder Coating 2065 Aeroplaza Dr., Colorado Springs, CO. 719-391-4967. Cost is $45.00 per wheel, sand blasting quoted seperately by the hour due to variation of original coatings.

They sand blast off the old & Powder Paint w/ a good selection of colors. Any color is possible but the best cost is w/ what they have on hand.

Black they have several options for gloss, 20%, 40%, 80%. I had mine done 40% gloss black & get many comments for being better than new appearance. (Reference: JCW Satin Black Wheels are about a 20% gloss.)
